917 Anti-encirclement and Long March 24 GC International Army
"Huishi?" Zhang Xueliang was stunned when he heard this, raised his head and stared at Zhou Elai, lowered his voice and said, "Is this necessary?" Looking at the current situation, the Indian army is still very sure that the Soviet Red Army will be wiped out, and it seems that we don't need to do it......"
Zhou Elai glanced at Zhang Xueliang and said with a straight face: "What are you doing?" Although we have differences with the Soviet Union, this difference is a difference of views among comrades on certain issues, not a contradiction between us and the enemy! Now that the Soviet Union and the Soviet Red Army are facing the catastrophe of annihilation, as fraternal parties, we have the obligation to help them, and the meeting of the two parties and the two armies is to better help the Soviet comrades. Hanqing, do you understand what I mean? ”
Zhang Xueliang's eyes rolled, nodded slightly, and sighed again: "Of course I understand what Brother E meant, but ...... The Soviet comrades may not be able to understand our good intentions. For example, this time after their defeat in New Delhi, they chose to go south instead of north, and their purpose was obviously to open up a base in southern India, not to come to northeast India to join us! ”
Zhou Elai was silent, he knew that Stalin, even if he was cornered, would not want to bring his troops to northeastern India to join the GC International South runners-up. However, the "Sino-Soviet Meeting" is indeed the best way to break the current deadlock at the Eighth World Congress of the GC International. Once the Soviet GCD sided with the CG and the Soviet Red Army joined the GC International Army, there was absolutely no way to prevent the CG from transforming the GC International with the influence of the small parties such as the Spanish GCD and the American GCD......
"E, I have a way to try." Zhang Xueliang pondered for a moment and said, "Now that Su G has reached the end of his rope, the only one who can save them is us." However, Comrade Stalin's misunderstanding of our party is so deep that he would rather die than come to us. However, it does not mean that other high-level Su G are willing to accompany him to the funeral. When the Soviet Union fell, traitors emerged in the top echelons of the Soviet Union! At this point he paused and reminded in a low voice: "Aren't we in contact with the Soviet-controlled GC International Executive Committee through the GC International Eastern Bureau?" ”
Zhou Elai thought for a while, and asked rhetorically: "If those high-level Soviet and G leaders agree to join us, do you have a way to let Chiang Kai-shek open up the net?" ”
……
Zhukov put the last piece of rusk in his mouth and chewed it carefully. It was the last dry food he had, maybe the last meal...... Since the end of August, the Red Army was defeated under the city of New Delhi. Or rather, the real difficult days of the Red Army leadership are coming.
Previously, in Persia and Berochstan, although the entire Red Army was also in difficulty, for high-ranking people like Zhukov and their families, basic supplies were still guaranteed. After all, at that time, the reactionaries pursued more than they suppressed. It's more just trying to drive them away, and now it's really ruthless! Not only did they send a large group of men and horses to chase after them, but they also set up a strong wall and clear the field on the territory that the Red Army might pass through! All the crops in the fields were burned, and all the villages were heavily guarded by private armies raised by princes and landlords, and the fleeing Soviet Red Army had no time to break down the villages for food.
And the weather in India is also a bit reactionary. It's already September, but the heat hasn't diminished at all, and the temperature under the sun during the day is always above 40 degrees Celsius! This temperature is simply fatal for the "Russian bears", who are accustomed to the bitter cold of the north. Along the way, there are constantly people who fall behind and get sick, and there are more non-combat attrition than comrades killed in battle! Even the great leader, Comrade Stalin, has had a high fever in the past two days. It looks a little confused. But Zhukov gritted his teeth and ordered the troops to abandon all the families and wounded and sick (of course, those at the top, not abandoned) in order to speed up the march. Finally, on September 10, he temporarily escaped his pursuers and entered the territory of Madhya Pradesh, India. At this time, the marching contingent of the Soviet Red Army was sparsely dragged out for more than ten kilometers. No heavy weapons or baggage were visible, and at least half of the soldiers did not have a single weapon in their hands. () Just carrying a stick and wearing tattered clothes, from a distance it looked like an army of people who had fled from Russia.
Khrushchev, the political commissar of the 2nd Guards Corps, ran back from the front with a stick. After more than ten days of arduous marching, Khrushchev also became emaciated. His face was a little solemn, and he whispered to Zhukov: "Georgy Konstantinovich, Comrade Bukharin, and Comrade Kruskaya want to talk to you, they are now in the camp of the Second Army. ”
Zhukov swallowed the rusks that he had been chewing for a long time, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll come now." Khrushchev's expression seemed to be relieved, and he smiled: "Then let's go quickly, the others Comrade Bukharin and Kruzkaya have waited too long." So saying, he took Zhukov and strode forward.
The camp of the 2nd Guards Regiment of the Red Army was in an abandoned ordinary Indian village, with a lavishly decorated house in the center of the village, surrounded by low adobe bungalows, but there was not a single shadow of an Indian Ahsan, and certainly no food to swallow.
The headquarters of Khrushchev and Chuikov was in the landlord's mansion, and on the second floor of the mansion, Zhukov saw Bukharin, who were neatly tidy, and Kruzkaya. The latter is the wife of the great leader Lenin! In history, she was probably the only political enemy that Stalin did not dare to kill, and in the Soviet Red Army, which was already at the end of this time and space, Kruskaya also had a very high prestige.
Zhukov walked up to Kruzkaya and gave a respectful military salute, then nodded at Bukharin, who was beside him. He sat down on an empty chair, and he noticed that there were quite a few empty chairs like this in the room. In addition, he found out that Khrushchev actually exited the room and did not know where to go.
"Comrade Zhukov, Comrade Kruskaya and I invited you here mainly to find out about the next direction of development of the Red Army." It was Bukharin who spoke, frowning and staring at Zhukov. "You are the chief of the General Staff of the Red Army, you should have a way, right?"
Zhukov sighed softly. The Chief of the General Staff is not God again! The battle has been fought to this extent, what else can be done? The big deal is to dedicate oneself to the revolutionary cause.
"Was the cause started by Comrade Lenin ruined by Stalin in this way?" Of course, it was Krusskaya who dared to say such things, her voice sounding a little hoarse, and her bright eyes were bloodshot. There are also tear stains in the corners of the eyes. Zhukov glanced at her, and couldn't help but feel heartache, thinking that Mrs. Lenin must have been in tears these days. He took a deep breath, squeezed out a small smile, and said to Kruzkaya: "The plan of the General Staff of the Red Army is to go south and open up new revolutionary bases in Andhra Pradesh or Madras. ”
Kruzkaya sighed faintly, "This plan would have been possible, if it weren't for Stalin's sudden desire to attack New Delhi and seize the central power of India. At this point, her voice was filled with disgust. This man completely ruined Lenin's career. What neither the tsar nor the imperialists of the whole world did was finally done in his hands! ”
Zhukov lowered his head and didn't know what to say. In fact, the attack on New Delhi also has a little responsibility for this move. At that time, the Indian army and the GC International South Asian Army fought in eastern India, and both sides were defeated, which seemed to be a good opportunity to capture New Delhi in one fell swoop. So when Stalin made this proposal. He did not object either. But who would have thought that Chiang Kai-shek, the Chinese reactionary, would go to India as a military adviser and mobilize the Muslim coalition to flank the Red Army......
"Comrade Krusskaya, things have not yet come to this point, and there is still hope." Bukharin suddenly interjected: "Although our Soviet Red Army is now at a low ebb, the Chinese and Indian comrades defeated the Indian reactionaries not long ago. Seized a large base area in eastern India. As long as we can unite with them, there will be a time for the revival of Comrade Lenin's cause. ”
To be honest, Zhukov's heart was also moved when he heard this suggestion, but he could think about it carefully. Still shook his head. "The Chinese will not really help us, they are just taking the opportunity to usurp the leadership of GC International and annex the Red Army."
"So what are we going to do?" Kruskaya stared at Zhukov. Rhetorical question: "Are we just waiting to be captured by the Indian reactionaries and killed in New Delhi?" ”
"Yes, Comrade Zhukov. We join forces with our Chinese comrades, Lenin's cause can still be revived, and if we are completely annihilated here, there will be no hope! Bukharin's continuation of Kruzkaya's words: "Chinese GCD is also GCD after all!" His purpose in obtaining the leadership of GC International is still for the world revolution and to realize GCISM in the whole world, and they are the same as us on this point, so there is no essential difference in who will lead GC International. ”
"Nope! They are not GC ists, they are capitalist roaders! Zhukov shook his head and said: "The six northern provinces of China under the leadership of the Chinese GCD are now practicing a capitalist system. Privatization and exploitation had resumed, and they had abandoned their plans to unify China with revolutionary war in favor of cooperating with the Chinese Nationalist Government. ”
"Comrade Zhukov, you can't tell you that the road taken by the Chinese comrades is not the capitalist road, but the socialist road with Chinese characteristics." Bukharin glanced at Kruskaya, and Kruskaya echoed: "Comrade Bukharin and I have carefully studied the road taken by China and G, and now we can basically confirm that it is a socialist road that is in line with China's national conditions. Saying that, she looked at Zhukov with a calm gaze, "Comrade Zhukov, we must not make dogmatic mistakes in judging whether a country is a socialist country and whether a party is a socialist party. Rather, it is necessary to take into account the actual situation of the country and see what the long-term goal of the party is. ”
Zhukov smiled bitterly and nodded, political theory is too complicated, he really can't figure it out, now since Mrs. Lenin said that G is GCISM, then forget it.
"Comrade Zhukov," Bukharin, seeing that the time was almost up, smiled faintly and began to talk about practical problems. "Comrade Zhou Elai of the Central G said in a telegram to me that when our two parties and two armies meet, Comrade Krusskaya, Comrade Stalin, and I will all join the GC International Executive Committee......"
"What! Stalin also entered the GC International Executive Committee? Zhukov was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time to react. Could it be that the Chinese g wanted to deceive Comrade Stalin and harm ......"
"Georgy Konstantinovich!" With a wave of his hand, Kruzkaya interrupted Zhukov's words. She said: "Why did the Chinese g harm Stalin? Do you think that a half-madman like Stalin still has the value of harming? ”
She softened her tone, looked at Zhukov and said: "After the meeting, our Su G and Zhong G are all branches of GC International, and we must accept the leadership of GC International. However, both sides have three members on the GC International Executive Committee. The Chinese side will send three comrades, Zhou Elai, Mao Zd, and Xiang Ying. And Comrade Ruy in India, Comrade Dimitrov in Bulgaria. Comrade Iba Luli of the Spanish GCD will be the executive committee. I am the chairman of the GC International Executive Committee, and Zhou Elai and Mao ZD are the vice chairmen.
In addition, our Soviet Red Army and the GC International South Asian Army will also be merged into the GC International Army, under the direct leadership of the GC International Military Committee. The chairman of the GC International Military Committee is Comrade Zhou Elai of the Chinese G, and there are two vice chairmen, Xiang Ying of the Chinese G is one of them, and the other vice chairman I want you to appoint. ”
"Deputy Chairman of the GC International Military Committee...... Do it for me!? Zhukov stood up suddenly, with an eager look in his eyes. Looking at Kruskaya's eyes, he was a little more respectful.
Bukharin smiled and took the question. "Who else can you give this position if you don't do it? Zhou Elai and Xiang Ying of Zhongg did not receive formal military training, let alone experience in commanding large corps operations. Therefore, the Chinese side wanted us to recommend a comrade with rich experience in military struggles to this post, and I discussed it with Comrade Krusskaya. I think it's best for you to take on this position. ”
Zhukov snapped and solemnly gave a military salute to Krusskaya: "Comrade Krusskaya, please give orders, the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army awaits your instructions." ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Kruzskaya's mouth, and she smiled faintly: "Comrade Zhukov." You sit down first, Khrushchev has gone to invite Comrade Timoshenko, they should be coming soon, let's meet him together. ”
At this time. The reports of Khrushchev and Timoshenko came from outside the door......
……
In the private living room of Zhou Elai, the leader of the Central G Group, Zhang Xueliang, the "flower of passion" of Spain, Iba Luli, the leader of the Bulgarian GCD, and the American GCD, Bai Laud and several other people sat on the staggered ground. A copy of an "open letter" sent by the Soviet GCD, which was still on the Long March, was now in their hands.
Zhou Elai had a faint smile on his face. He said to the chairman of the Spanish GCD, Iba Luli: "Comrade Iba Luli, this open letter from the Central Committee of the Soviet Union. Presumably, your party has already received it through its own channels. Now the Soviet GCD has openly expressed its support for our Party's proposals, and has changed the name of the Soviet Workers' and Peasants' Red Army to the First Front of the GC International Army (the Far Eastern Army has been renamed the Second Front, and the South Asian Army has been renamed the Fourth Front). It is believed that it will not be long before the First and Fourth Front Armies of the GC International Army will achieve victory in eastern India. ”
Iba Luli only had a wry smile in her heart, she was originally instructed by Su G to oppose China and G at the 8th GC International Congress. But now I don't know what happened to the Soviet G, and suddenly issued an open letter in support of the Chinese G's request. All of a sudden, she was left here.
She quietly glanced at the American Browder beside her, who didn't plan to mix with GC International anymore, and had fewer scruples when she spoke. Blaud snorted softly, threw the open letter in his hand on the coffee table, and sneered: "A palace coup!" This kind of thing does not happen in capitalist democracies, but it ...... in the so-called GCIST camp," he shook his head and sighed: "We in the United States GCD will not change our position, if the 8th International Congress of GC International finally passes the proposal proposed by China G, then the US GCD will withdraw from GC International!" ”
Zhou E looked at Bai Laude and said with a slight smile: "Then we and the Soviet GCD can only express regrets." Look at Iba Luli again, "What about the Spanish GCD?" Comrade Ibaraluli, do you plan to be the same as your American comrades? ”
Iba Luli frowned and bowed her head silently, their Spanish GCD was driven out of Spain by Franco's rebels, and now the main cadres are in exile in France and other Western European countries. However, after losing the world war, France gradually embarked on the road of fascism, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the Spanish GCD people will be expelled! Moreover, the Spanish GCD had always relied on the GC International (Soviet Union) for funding, but after the defeat of the Soviet Union from Persia, there was no longer the strength to help them.
At this time, Dimitrov sighed lightly and interjected: "I don't think it's better to be like this, the Spanish GCD still stays in the GC International, but ...... I think the bill on the GC International Army still needs to be revised. Otherwise, our GCDs in Europe and the Americas will be very passive. Besides, it is impossible for the current GC international army to really come to liberate Europe and the Americas, right? I think that the armed participation of the GCD in the GC international army of various countries should be voluntary. Comrade E, do you think it will work? ”
Zhou Elai and Zhang Xueliang exchanged glances, Zhou Elai nodded, and said with a smile: "Okay, the GC International Army will be formed in accordance with the principle of voluntariness, and I believe that GCDs all over the world will finally realize the necessity of forming a unified military force!" (To be continued......)
